Switchel

2-3" piece of ginger
2 1/4 cups of water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup runny raw honey


Peel the skin off the ginger and slice into thin sections. Place in a saucepan with the water, bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

In a quart sized mason jar place the honey and vinegar. Add the still warm ginger water (ginger included) and then screw the lid on tight and give a good hard shake. You want the honey to be completely dissolved.

Allow to cool then place in the refrigerator for two days. (You can drink it sooner if impatient or let it go longer for a stronger flavor).

To server: in a glass tumbler place several ice cubes and then pour over the switch until about 1/2 to 2/3rds full. Top up with sparkling water.
